Kids Read, Too!2014 - 2015

Book of the Year

Our School Connections Committee selected junior companion books for families to read together. The hope is that everyone would participate in discussions of the important themes in The Art of Hearing Heartbeats by ​Jan-Philipp Sendker

Families experienced our world using several senses. Activity centers included: Braille writing, adaptive games, music videos by “Flame”, service dogs, the “touch bags” and a sensory art project. Thank you to the gracious presenters who joined us on such a beautiful day! Patricia Carley explained how she facilitates an art class for those who are differently abled. Fritz Smith and Lauren Bachner brought a service and a therapy dog and demonstrated the differences in how they help people. ​Event Poster: Everyone Can! Kids Event 2015
